Please help me, is my bracelet too tight?

[mousdioufe]

Good morning all!
I just purchased a 5 motif Alhambra bracelet and removed 2 links. I feel that it doesn’t looks right. It barely move on my wrist and always have to push it down Because it goes under my cartier bracelet. Should I add back one link ? Will it look bad because it’s uneven? I just purchased another bracelet which feel big or it is because I am not used too? Please tell me do you all adjust your bracelet or leave it as it is? My wrist is 7inches and my love bracelet 18cm. The last 3 pictures of the carnelian are the new bracelet.

It’s a matter of personal preference- some people like their bracelets tight while others prefer a loose fit. The first bracelet doesn’t look too tight but I am claustrophobic, so I can understand that feeling.

Most VA 5-motifs bracelets are 19cm (approx. 7.5”)in length. If your wrist measures 7”, I would not have advised to take out any links at all. If you thought it was too loose when you tried at the boutique, maybe you can add back 1 link at the end to avoid the uneven look between motifs that you are concerned about.

The GUILLOCHÉ/Carnelian is definitely too big. How about if you place both bracelets side by side and compare? I think it will give an idea of how many links (cm or inches) to remove from that one.

When you say the end are you taking by the claps?

Ask the boutique if they will allow adding back one link. VCA usually allows only the removal of even numbers if links to adjust the length of their bracelets, 2, 4, 6, or 8.
As it whether it is too tight it is all personal preference. I make mine as short as possible. Others prefer much more movement. Sounds like you find this length too tight.

I feel it borderline too short yes, I don’t have any movement on the bracelet. Granted that am at my heaviest right now. Haaaaaa I don’t know what to do

Yes, at the clasps but looks to me like you may have to add back the 2 links you removed if you desire movement.

Place both bracelets on a flat surface next to each other and use a tape measure or ruler.

Thank you for replying. I’ll go see if I can add back one link

Doesn’t look it

The first bracelet doesn’t look too tight at all. I prefer my bracelets to fit for stacking and to minimize scratches. The loser the bracelets they tend to jumble. The carnelian is definitely large as it’s resting on your hand

I have mine shortened to the way your carnelian fits (1cm more compared to my Love size), which is annoying too since it slides over my Loves constantly. I think it will never be a perfect fit and it goes either over or under your Loves. Maybe give it a bit more time? The fit is so different from the Loves, maybe you just need to get used to it?

 

[mousdioufe]

You are probably right, mine is a barely moving lol. I’ll give it a few weeks to see how I feel. I wish I didn’t have to remove it nightly and leave it with my love

I have an 18 love small bracelet, which I don't take off. Most days I add my WG onyx and pave 5 motif or my WG MOP 5 motif along with a thin pave diamond bangle. I didn't remove any links on either bracelet as I like the loose fit.
